HOW WEIRD
S IS THAT?!
SEAN MCCARTHY



spend any time surfing
the Web and you are
bound to find stories
that are just too bizarre to
be true. Here's a sampling,
edited for length. And
remember, just because
it's online doesn't mean it's
true!
From msnbc.msn.com:
Woman lay dead in bed
for eight months
The body of an elderly
woman remained in her
bed for up to eight months
even though caretakers
paid daily visits to the
house and kept it tidy,
authorities said.
New Hanover County
District Attorney Ben-
jamin David told a news
conference that a conceal-
ment of death charge
would be filed against a
family member, although
he declined to identify the
person by name.
"There is no question it
was known to the family
and should have been
communicated to law
enforcement," he said.
"This is not tolerated
under North Carolina law
and it is not tolerated by
this law enforcement
community."
Failure to report a death
is a low-level felony in
North Carolina. David said
the person charged may
not face jail time depend-
ing on any prior criminal
record.
From news.yahoo.com:
Self-styled vampire jailed
for threatening judge
A man who claims to be
the leader of a group of
vampires has pleaded
guilty to charges he
threatened to torture and
kill an Indianapolis judge
and his family.

SEBASTIAN Residents
could get up close and per-
sonal with aviation next year
at the Sebastian Municipal
Airport with a new park and
viewing area.
In the Dec. 9 Sebastian
City Council meeting, parks
and recreation committee
members presented an idea
about creating a small park
next to the airport for peo-
ple to sit, have a picnic and
watch as skydivers jump
from planes or watch air-
craft take off and land.
The park would also high-
light some of the history of
the airport, stretching as far
back as WorldWar II, when it
was used as a training base
for the Navy.


Council members were
overall in favor of the proj-
ect, and directed the city
manager to come back with
more information on where
the park could be located
and what size budget would
be needed.
The idea originated with
the public, said Council-
woman Andrea Coy.
"The suggestion came
with interest from pilots and
members of the general
community for having a
viewing area out there," said
Ms. Coy.
"The public brought it to
our attention, and it's some-
thing that we all seem to
like," she said.
Some of the suggestions
for the park include play-
ground equipment with an
aviation theme, Ms. Coy


said.
The historic aspect of the
proposed park would also
bring a positive element to
the airport, she said.
"Military bone yards"
have artifacts from WWII
that could be brought and
displayed in the park for
basically the cost of trans-
porting them, the council-
woman said.
"Most folks forget that the
airport used to be a Navy
training base in World War
II, so why not showcase it
and invite the public to see
it?" said Ms. Coy.
"People could walk up
and touch them, and that's
something that you don't get
to do anymore (since Sept.
11). It provides an opportu-
nity for people to get inter-
ested in aviation and flying,"


Ms. Coy said.
City manager Al Minner
said the funding for the
project would most likely
come from recreation
impact fees, but grant fund-
ing is something that they
will look into, as well.
Recreation impact fees
can only be used for creat-
ing new infrastructure for
recreation in the city.
Mr. Minner expects to
have more information on
the cost of the project by the
January council meetings.
There will be opportunity
for more public input in
future meetings, he said.
For more information
about upcoming govern-
ment meetings, or to view
agendas, visit www.cityofse-
bastian.org.


Operation
From page Al

a confidential source tipped
off law enforcement about a
drug exchange about to take
place at Ms. Nelson's home
inVero Beach.
Ms. Nelson was identified
by the confidential source as
a drug sponsor, which indi-
cates that Ms. Nelson would
pay someone to go to med-
ical clinics to obtain pre-
scriptions for controlled
substances, such as oxy-
codone. In return, the spon-
sor would get a portion of
the pills received and be
able to sell them to other
consumers.
In the arrest report, Mr.


Stephen Decker Kelly Nelson


Decker and another man
were observed leaving Ms.
Nelson's home in a vehicle,
and were stopped for a traf-
fic violation.
Officers searched the
vehicle and found three pre-
scription bottles and 128
pills belonging to Mr. Deck-
er.
Mr. Decker said he had
given Ms. Nelson between
130 and 140 pills that day as
payment for her sponsoring

sored him up to six times in
the past and that this time
she gave him $680 to go to
the clinic. He was subse-
quently arrested.
The other man, who was
driving the vehicle, was not
arrested in conjunction with
the case.

conducting a traffic stop,
arrested Mr. Novakowski for
purchasing and possessing

Mr. Novalowski said he
had just bought the 15 pills

Ms. Nelson was arrested,

childcare centers to place
children from qualifying fami-
lies in safe environments, but
with the expansion, Childcare
Resources would be able to
provide for more than 50 chil-
dren with their own care
providers.
The Childcare Resources of
Indian River Education Cen-
ter would be located in leased
space at Trinity Church in
Vero Beach, said Sarah Starr,
community relations director.
The five leased classrooms
will provide adequate space
for 53 children, with 35 of
those spaces reserved for
infants and children under 5,
she said.
"It was not feasible for us to
do a large scale capital cam-
paign. This will take $275,000
to start up and is much more
affordable," Ms. Starr said.
With "modest renovations,"
including new carpets, furni-
ture, etc., the center could be
open as early as July 2010, she
said.
"Every year there are about
1,500 babies born in Indian
River County, and half of them
are Medicare babies," said Ms.
Starr.

children have to work, but

When leaving home for the

affordable places for the
youngest age group of chil-
dren, 8 weeks to 2 years.
There are only 32 licensed
spots for children in that age
bracket, and they are always
full, Ms. Starr said.
The waiting list for all child-
care services at the nonprofit
can be anywhere from 100 to
300 names long, she said.
Childcare Resources serves
the population segment of
families who do not qualify
for other childcare programs,
such as HeadStart, because
their income is too high, yet
not high enough that they can
afford quality childcare.
"It can be by as little as $1 a
year too much. There just
aren't any options," Ms. Starr


Taxes
From page Al

of the Gifford Youth Activities
Center.
County staff and Gifford
residents identified approxi-
mately $174,000 in immedi-
ate needs, including rest-
room upgrades and air
conditioning improvements.
Other improvements
include audio-visual equip-
ment and new furniture.
The building is a little
more than 20 years old, but
has not ever had any
upgrades, said county
administrator Joe Baird.
Modernizing the building
would give more people rea-
son to use it and overall, pro-


said.
Having good childcare
available for families is benefi-
cial to the whole community,
she said.
"Some people don't realize
how important it is to kids and
families to have a safe, afford-
able place to go," Ms. Starr.
When parents know that
their child is in a good envi-
ronment, they can relax and
focus more on their jobs,
which in turn leads to better
employees and better busi-
ness practices, she said.
While at the childcare cen-
ters, children are taught skills
that will help them going into
a kindergarten classroom.
Studies have proven that a
child who is behind the


vide better service for the
people of Gifford and the
surrounding community, he
said.
Also in the meeting, com-
missioners voted against

gave a private emergency
medical assistance company
the OK to use ambulances to
carry patients between facili-
ties in the county.
We Care of the Treasure
Coast will be permitted to
use their own ambulances
and will compete with Amer-
ican Ambulance and its sis-
ter company, All County

Ordinance
From page Al
The hearing is the next
step in the process of
establishing a tax abate-
ment program to attract
new businesses to the area
with new employment
opportunities, city manag-
er Al Minner said.
Some of the ideal indus-
tries the city is looking to
attract include clean light
industrial, aviation and
aerospace technology,
marine and eco-tourism.
The proposed plan,
crafted by Mr. Minner and
staff, offers tax breaks to
qualifying businesses that


bring 10 or more full-time
jobs.
In addition, the tax
exemption could be given
for up to 10 years. The city
would require annual
reports from the business-
es showing that they are
still able to meet the
requirements to keep the

Traffic problems are cause for concern

To the editor:

I am researching and trying to bring attention to a recent
problem that we have encountered inVero Beach.
As you may or may not know, the county recently paved
(asphalt) 8th Street between 82nd Avenue and 66th Avenue.
This area is predominately equine/
livestock and where horseback riding used to be enjoyed by
adults and children on what was previously a dirt road with
very little traffic.
Within this mile stretch of road, we have more than 50
horses and more than 100 cows or other livestock. We now
have a paved road, increased traffic, speeders, large tractor
trailer and just plain careless drivers.
We were supplied no signs for drivers to use caution when
horses are present.
I, myself, horseback ride frequently and usually have chil-
dren on horses with me.
I have called the Indian River County Sheriff's Depart-
ment several times to monitor the area and they have done
everything they are able to do being short staffed.
Most importantly, the children, my daughter included,
waits for the bus in the morning with little visibility due to
the fog. Drivers in excess of the speed limit passing the
school bus and other vehicles on this narrow road is a for-
mula for an accident.
Further, on several occasions I have witnessed
horses/livestock escape from their pastures and use 8th
Street as their escape route. This is also a bad situation
when a driver exceeding the speed limit is unable to stop in
time to avoid an accident.
I hope with so much liability as stake that this matter will
be taken seriously and steps will be taken immediately to
remedy this situation.

Jtants :


Got something to say?

Call the Hometown Rants & Raves line at

or e-mail news@hometownnewsol.com.
Callers are asked to refrain from making slanderous
statements. Statements of fact will be checked for
accuracy.


Discrimination against single people?

A local golf course charges a married couple $1,203 for an
annual membership but they charge single people $1,792.
Why are they charging them $500 more? Why do they dis-
criminate against single people? That's not right.

Leave dogs home

I recently went to an art show and was surprised by the
number of dogs present. Dogs don't know a thing about art.
I didn't go there to see and hear dogs. I went to view art. I
don't understand why some people feel it necessary to
bring one, two and three dogs to those types of events. I
have a dog, and I wouldn't bring him to an art show. Some
dog owners are so inconsiderate.


Will the stimulus bill work?

The world's all-time biggest spender has signed a $24 bil-
lion economic stimulus bill, which is supposed to encour-
age job creation. No one knows if it will be effective.
Of course, the best way to proceed would be to get the
federal government to step back, get out of the way and
allow private enterprise to perform as it always has, based
on the proven concepts of individual initiative and eco-
nomic freedom.

Want security?

If you want total security, go to prison. There you are fed,
clothed, given medical care, and so on.
The only thing lacking is freedom.

Downloading made simple


One of the things I often
hear when I ask a new
user what they want
to learn about their comput-
er is, "I want to learn how to
download."
Of all the things people
can do with their machines,
downloading seems to be a
concept that's shrouded in
mystery.
We hear about it all the
time, "just go to www.what-
ever.com and download
your copy today." or "I just
downloaded an update to
my anti-virus software; my
machine should be well-
protected now."
What exactly do they
mean by downloading? How
come no one ever explains
it?
Well, it's one of those
concepts that, for the most
part, is 90 percent automatic.
That's why there isn't much
written about it for the end
user.
Let me explain. Whenever
you visit aWeb site, any
picture, sound, text, etc.,
displayed is stored on the
computer that hosts it. When
you access the Web site, all of
that stuff is transferred from
their computer down to
yours, so it can be displayed.
Since this transfer is going
from the Web site down to
your computer, the data is
said to be downloading.
So, basically, every time


COMPUTE
THIS
SEAN MCCARTHY


you access aWeb site, you
are automatically download-
ing lots of stuff.
The direction the data
flows is what makes the
difference between down-
loading and uploading.
Data that comes down
from the 'net to your
machine is considered
downloaded, while data that
leaves your computer and
goes up to the 'net is consid-
ered "uploaded."
When you send your mail,
the data goes from your
computer up to the mail
server; it's uploaded. When
you get your mail, it comes
down from the mail server;
it's downloaded.
Now when typical stuff is
downloaded from aWeb site,
it's usually displayed as being
downloaded (back in the
days of dialup, the pictures
would seem to slowly form
before your eyes).
The confusion about
downloading comes from
those times when the file you
are trying to access is
something other than a file
that can be displayed as it
comes in. In these cases, you


Party hearty, but


It's a party time of year
and nobody wants to be
the party-pooper who
reminds everyone that
drinking and driving don't
mix.
I'm happy to be the
designated messenger for
this party-season: drinking
and driving don't mix and
there are many ways to have
a great holiday party
without putting yourself or
your loved ones at risk.
Mothers Against Drunk
Driving offers tips for hosts
and party-goers to avoid
becoming statistics during
the holiday season.
You can find their "Have a
Ball, Baby!" safe party guide
at the MADD Web site,
www.madd.org/programs.
If you still have doubts
about the dangers of
drinking and driving, and
still feel that the holiday
time is different, and you
can relax the rules, MADD
offers the following sobering
statistics:
In a recent year, 17,602
people were killed in
alcohol-related crashes,
which is an average of one
every 30 minutes
Alcohol-related deaths
account for nearly 41
percent of all traffic fatalities
Many more people are
seriously maimed and
injured in alcohol-related
accidents
If you are having a holiday
party, and this includes


barbeques and tailgate
parties, as well as traditional
holiday events, there are
things you need to know to
keep your party safe. This is
not only being a good,
responsible host. If you
serve liquor, you may be
liable for accidents caused
by your guests. It is the
responsibility of hosts to
make sure no one drinks
and drives, including taking
keys, calling cabs and
finding people who haven't
been drinking.
Guests have a responsibil-
ity, as well, to make plans in
advance for a designated
driver, taxi or alternate
means of transportation.
The following dos and
don't are taken from the
MADD Web site. For
information on volunteer-
ing or joining one of the 25
chapters in Florida, go to
www.madd.org./fl.
If you are the victim of a
drunk driver, you can call
the toll free hotline, (800)
772-6233.
Do:
Have a "bartender" who
can keep track of how much
someone is drinking. Never
allow drinks to be served to


have to save the file to disk
and then access the file
manually.
This isn't as complicated
as it may first seem. When
you encounter a file like that,
typically a "save as" dialogue
box opens and the computer
wants to know where on
your computer you want to
save the file.
This is logical; the
machine needs a place to
store it as it comes in. Save it
to the desktop or create a
folder specifically for it on
the hard drive but, regardless
of where you save it, you
need to note what folder it is
being saved in and what the
file is named. That way, after
the download is complete,
you can use that to navigate
to that folder and double-
click the newly downloaded
file.
The next thing that tends
to cause confusion is what
happens when you down-
load something that your
machine doesn't know how
to open. For instance, say
you just downloaded a .pdf
file but you have no .pdf
reader installed on your
computer.
When you go to open it,
the computer displays a
message asking you what
program to use! This can be
very intimidating if you don't
understand the message but
you know what? The


party sal
minors. Remember that a 12
oz, can of beer, a 5 oz. glass
of wine, and an ounce and a
half of "hard" liquor contain
the same amount of alcohol.
Stay within your own
drinking limits so that you
can keep an eye on your
guests.
Offer non-alcoholic
alternatives, and if a guest is
drinking too much, offer to
freshen up the drink with a
non-alcoholic version.
Close the bar 90 minutes
before the party ends and
serve dessert and coffee.
Coffee will not sober
someone up; only time will
do that. It takes about an
hour to oxidize each drink.
Offer lots of high protein
foods cheese, deli meats
and shrimp so guests
don't drink on an empty
stomach.
Get your guests talking
or playing games. Have an
amateur fortune teller.
When people are busy, they
drink less.
If you're serving alco-
holic punch, use a non-
carbonated base such as
fruit juices. Alcohol is
absorbed more quickly into
the bloodstream with a
carbonated base.
Have a plan if a guest
has had too much to drink;
arrange a ride, call a taxi or
ask them to spend the night.
If you're a guest, you're
not off the hookld
Know your limits.


download worked fine!
The file did indeed transfer
from the internet down to
the computer, the computer
just doesn't know what to do
with it and is relying on you
to tell it what program to use.
Not sure what program to
use? Here's a hint: take the
three-letter extension (in this
example .pdf) and search on
google for "what program
opens .pdf." Google will then
come up with a list of what
programs will open your file.
Another area of confusion
comes from things that
automatically downloaded,
things such as anti-virus or
Windows updates are often
downloaded in the back-
ground so there is usually
little (if anything) that you
have to do but, since every-
one knows how important
updates are, people can get
stuck trying to figure out how
to download things that are
already taken care of.
The trick there is learning
how to verify automatic
downloads worked the way
they are supposed to have.
Well, that's downloading in
a nutshell. Have a merry
Christmas and I hope this
helps!

om (no hyphens).


If you're with a group,
arrange in advance who will
be the designated driver.
Don't arrive on an empty
stomach and eat through-
out the evening. Remember
that salty snacks make you
thirsty; if you need some-
thing to quench your thirst,
choose a non-alcoholic
alternative.
Remember that you are
ultimately responsible for
your behavior. Don't put
your host on the spot by
drinking too much.
Have fun, have a great
holiday and don't let a lapse
in judgment and good sense
turn into a tragedy. That's
not how you want to
remember this holiday
season!

During the ceremony,
students participated in
the traditions of candle
lighting (the symbol of
knowledge), taking a white
rose (symbolizing intellec-
tual friendship), reciting
the Phi Theta Kappa oath
of membership and sign-
ing the membership book.
The keynote speaker,
Ann L. Decker, executive
director of the IRSC Foun-
dation, commended the
newly inducted members
on their continuous dedi-


cation to academic excel-
lence and shared the histo-
ry of Phi Theta Kappa, as
well as the impact the
organization will have on
the future successes of
Indian River State College.
She also encouraged new
members to honor the four
hallmarks of the organiza-
tion: scholarship, leader-
ship, fellowship and serv-
ice, through active
participation in the chap-
ter.
These students have
achieved a 3.5 grade-point
average or higher while
carrying a full course load
of 12 hours.
Phi Theta Kappa is an
international honor society
and focuses on the recog-
nition and encouragement
of academic achievement.

society in American higher
education with 1,100 chap-
ters located around the

A 13-year-old teen was
probably in hot water
with his father after
running up a cell phone
bill of nearly $22,000. Ted
Estarija said he was
expecting his bill to be
higher this month after
adding his son to his plan,
but wasn't expecting a bill
of $21,917 in data usage


charges.
The Hayward man said
his Verizon Wireless bill
soared after his son
apparently downloaded
about 1.4 million kilo-
bytes of data last month.
His plan didn't cover data
usage, so he was charged
by the megabyte. Estarija
said after the first media
reports, Verizon said they
would credit his account
for the entire amount. He
has also suspended his
son's account.

'Ella' comes to life


By Barbara Yoresh
Entertainment writer
VERO BEACH She was
heralded, among such gift-
ed contemporaries as Lena
Home, Sarah Vaughn and
Judy Garland, as America's
"First Lady of Song."
Ella Jane Fitzgerald,
often referred to as the
"Queen of Scat," was con-
sidered to be the preemi-
nent jazz vocalist of the
20th century and her
music and myth continues
to endure since her death
in 1996.
In a uniquely special
musical tribute to Ms.
Fitzgerald, Riverside The-
atre presents "Ella," per-
forming Dec. 31-Jan. 17,
which stars acclaimed
Broadway, stage and TV
veteran Tina Fabrique.
While "Ella" features 24
glorious songs, the show
also brings focus to a life
filled with difficulties as
well as triumphs.
The show, by Rob Rug-
giero and Dyke Garrison
from a book by Jeffrey
Hatcher, premiered in
2005. Since then, Ms. Fab-
rique has portrayed the
legendary Ella and her per-
formance has been herald-
ed as "astounding" by The
NewYork Times.
This is one show that
theater and music lovers
will not want to miss.
Joining Ms. Fabrique
onstage to re-create the
magic of an all-American
songstress and songbook
are musicians George
Caldwell, Harold Dixon,
Joilet E Harris, Rodney
Harper, Ron Hayes and
Clifton Kellem.
Speaking from her New
York City home, Ms. Fab-
rique discussed her role.
"I had the privilege of
(previously) doing her
material for four years with
the Duke Ellington
Orchestra, but it never
occurred to me to play her.
"So as not to be
awestruck by her legend, I
decided to approach her as
an actress developing all


the "Ella-isms," the physi-
cality of her and got a
sense of who she was as a
woman. I dug as deeply as
I could and it gave me the
opportunity to also
embrace the music," Ms.
Fabrique said.
With her own back-
ground in jazz singing that
Ms. Fabrique referred to as
her "home base," she was
more than capable of
singing in Ms. Fitzgerald's
unique "scat" style, a tech-
nique of wordlessly
singing and often imitat-
ing musical instruments
through improvised
melodies.
"I tried to embrace her
scat style and you learn it
like any other song. You
put consonants and vow-
els in place with the notes
like you'd do with words.
"I do 24 songs in the
show which is really an
ensemble effort, even
though I'm the one who's
out front," Ms. Fabrique
said in praise of her sup-
porting musicians and
technicians.
She extensively studied
film and recordings of Ms.
Fitzgerald in preparation
for the role, but Ms. Fab-
rique noted "there's no
mimicry" in her portrayal.
The demands of such
singing are many, Ms. Fab-
rique said.
"If you don't breathe
deep and support well
you'll never make it
through those long phras-
es she did. I try to get into
the way the music was
made and how she ren-
dered it. She was an instru-
ment," Ms. Fabrique said.
In "Ella" Ms. Fabrique
also delves into the singer's
sometimes topsy-turvy life
and subsequent acclaim.
She was born in 1917 in
Newport News, Va., as the
child of a common-law
marriage. Her parents sep-
arated shortly after her
birth and she moved with
her mother and mother's
boyfriend to Yonkers, NY.
As a teen, Ella loved to
dance and enjoyed acts at

Fitzgerald.


the famed Apollo Theater
in Harlem.
When Ella was 15, her
mother died and she was
sent to live with her aunt in
what became an unpleas-
ant arrangement for the
teen. Her rebellion and
unruly behavior resulted
in her being sent to a
Bronx reform school for
black children where she
was beaten. She later
escaped.
Ella lived for a time on
the streets of New York
during the Great Depres-
sion. At age 17, she made
her singing debut at the
Harlem Opera House and
later competed in an Apol-
lo Theater's amateur night
competition, taking top
prize and $25 in winnings.


Her talent caught the eye
of drummer/bandleader
Chick Webb, who gave the
young singer a chance to
perform with his band.
Ella became a regular
with Webb's orchestra and
with them recorded hit
songs. When Webb died in
1939, the band was
renamed and Ella stepped
in as singer and band-
leader.
In 1942, Ella decided to
pursue a solo career and
subsequently entered into
an association that would,
no doubt, seal her fate in
becoming perhaps the
best-known and heralded
jazz/pop singer of all time.
She worked with

Winter concert delights audience


By Barbara Yoresh
Entertainment writer


VERO BEACH The concerts
were presented Dec. 13 and 14 as
"Winter Wonderland" and, in truth,
the only tangible hint of winter was
the cool temperature in what would
become a filled auditorium.
But the festive, holiday-themed
music provided by able student per-
formers in the Vero Beach High
School Performing Arts Center
showcased the best of the winter sea-
son and warmed the nearly 1,000 in


attendance.
Vero Beach High School's music
program has long been renowned
and award-winning. The caliber of
student musicians' choral and
instrumental talent is nothing short
of inspirational, thanks in part to the
able leadership of school conductors
James Sammons, Colbert "Page"
Howell, Matt Stott and Greg Harris,
as well as from school Principal Eric
Seymour.
The community at large has been
similarly supportive and apprecia-
tive and the night of Dec. 14 was no


exception.
The state-of-the-art performing
arts center was tastefully decorated
with a huge wreath and snowflakes
suspended from the ceiling. Special
holiday-themed lighting effects of
angels and stars, projected onto the
backdrop of the stage, also lent a fes-
tive air.
But the shining stars of the
evening were the young performers
who treated the audience to rendi-
tions of holiday standards, as well as

Aries-March 21-April 19
You know what you want.
Stay centered on your main
goals. Listen closely. You
are in a very positive energy
pattern right now. Find a lit-
tle quality time for yourself.
Do a few deep breathing
exercises when you first
wake up. It's better than
drinking two cups of coffee.
Now you are running on
your own steam. Good
luck.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Let go of the past and move
on. Don't expect others to
do things your way without
a commitment. You can't
rescue the wounded. Stop
trying. Your place in this
world is to keep a steady
pace, move forward and
live an exciting, inspired,
joy-filled life. You have all
this potential. Make the
best of it. It's your destiny.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
You continue to shine in
wonderful ways. Why? You
listen to your inner guid-
ance. You move forward
when it feels right. Many
friends are proud of you.
Stay focused on your three
top priorities. Less impor-
tant things can wait. Keep
this plan going in 2010 and
you will have the best year
of your life just ahead.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
There is much more to life
than basic survival. All the
earthly pleasures will not
sustain you until you feed
your emotional and spiritu-
al needs first. Take it one
day at a time and trust your
very first impressions. This
is possible for you because
of your extra large heart.
You can do it. Your personal
happiness depends on it.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Recent successes have
motivated you to wanting
even more. Just be sure to
not take on too many
things at once. No reason
to get scattered now. You
know what feels right. It's
good to make a written
plan or agenda every day.
Be flexible but follow it
closely. It will move you for-
ward and insure success.

surprised how much will

Libra-Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The universe is going to
bless you with all the ener-

Contact a few relatives and

This will keep you in top

Give yourself a little extra
time during the holidays.
You work hard all year. Let
this be a present to your-

your life and make new

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The focus you have been
giving to your main goals is
working. You are on a posi-

strong. Your mind is clear
and your desire is great.
Much new learning is com-

you. A higher level is on the
way.

Your home life is better

Why? Because you have the
courage to stand up for
your true beliefs. This is the

This resurgence of your

musical


The two-plus-hour con-
cert, including intermis-
sion, was packed with a cor-
nucopia of selections by the
school's choirs, bands and
orchestras.
With a jazz combo, jazz
band, two symphonic
bands, a show choir,
embassy choir, mixed cho-
rus, ambassador choir,
freshman choir, combined
choir and other combina-
tions of singers and instru-
mentalists, the set changes
alone were almost stupefy-
ing yet perfectly choreo-
graphed.
During those stage re-
arrangements, the program
included delightful musical
interludes by the show
choir, string ensemble, cello
and bass sections of the
orchestra, flute ensemble,
percussion ensemble and
by pianist Kelsey Grabach.
Piano accompanist Karen
Wiggins was superb in the
role that has made her a
favorite throughout the
community's many per-
formance venues.
There were many proud
parents in the audience that
evening and, perhaps, even
more senior citizens. But no
matter the ages or relation-
ship to the gifted young
musicians on stage, there
was a collective sense of
tremendous pride in these
young performers.
For me, a former high
school band member whose
older daughter was a flutist
during her own high school
years, it was a nostalgic
return to those days of prac-
tices and performances.
However, the quality and
difficulty of the music
played in "Winter Wonder-


land" was way beyond any-
thing our more basic bands
would have ever dreamed of
playing.
It seemed clear that some
performers might seriously
consider careers as profes-
sional musicians or singers.
My eyes and ears were
especially drawn to a slen-
der, dark-haired young
woman who played first
violin. She simply dazzled
the audience during a siz-
zling piece entitled "Irish
Legend."
The degree of difficulty in
the fingering and use of bow
during that fast-paced
Celtic delight was utterly
remarkable.
Yet with utmost poise and
a level of professionalism
way beyond her years, this
violinist evoked all the
magic and myth of that
Emerald Isle through her
instrument. It was truly
spectacular.
Although she sang no
solos, one dark-haired
soprano's pure, strong voice
literally soared above the
rest.
And even from my upper
level seat I could see the
look of sheer enjoyment on
her face as she sang with
perfect pitch con brio.
I most sincerely hope she
considers developing her
glorious voice to its fullest
potential.
The evening was pure joy
and I was enlightened to
learn that young teens (who
in this instance happen to
play instruments) can do
more with their fingers than
text message on cell phones
all day.
These young adults are
the best of the best and we
should all take great pride in
their achievements and
support their future efforts.
"Winter Wonderful" was a
most meaningful holiday
gift.

Caribbean ships is the
Schooner Bar and this was no
exception. It's located on deck
6, above the guest services
and opens to overlook the
Royal Promenade. The piano
player, Peter, was excellent.
My new favorite would be
Dazzles, although no time to
enjoy the music and dance
there, the d6cor was gorgeous
with its champagne-colored
crushed velvet chairs and
banquettes, mirrors and
incredible chandeliers hang-
ing above the winding glass
stairways leading to the bal-
cony area overlooking the
dance floor. When you walk in
there you would expect to see
Fred and Ginger gliding
across the floor.
As with the Voyager and
Freedom class ships, you will
find the Royal Promenade the
place to be, especially in the
evenings where you might be
strolling along or sitting out-
side one of the cafes and sud-
denly you hear music and
people bursting into dance.
The crews from the various
theater groups are dancing in
the streets and mostly every-
one starts dancing. Well, I did,
along with a few hundred
other folks. It was a fun place
to be.
I cannot go into detail
about each of the venues,
because there are so many,
and because I was unable to
experience them all in two
days. I will, however, give a
synopsis of the many venues
you might experience aboard
the Oasis.
Also located along the
Royal Promenade you will
find Sorrento's, a place for
pizza almost anytime of the
day into the wee hours of the
morning, as well as Cafr
Promenade for coffee, light
fare and desserts. Bolero's for
those who love salsa music,
On Air Club for up-to-the-
minute sports and news, but
also for Wii games and trivia.
Globe and Atlas Pub, which
sports Atlas holding up the
globe high above the
entrance and another Royal
Caribbean first, the Rising
Tides bar which, floats from
deck five to eight. When the


bar is on eight, there is a water
light show where it would
park on deck five.
Jazz on 4 sports a soft d6cor
and feels reminiscent of the
clubs of old.
Blaze, on the other hand, is
wild with colors, with dun-
geon-like walls surrounding
the dance floor. This, of
course, is the nightclub for
those who love to dance
through the night.
Comedy Live has the look
and feel of the subway. I did
not have the opportunity to
enjoy the comedians; howev-
er those we met later said it
was very funny.
The main show room is the
Opal Theater where we were
thrilled with "Abba-cadabra"
and "Hairspray," both great
shows.
Studio B is the ice skating
rink, where we were enter-
tained with an ice show fea-
turing the works of Hans
Christian Anderson' it was
fantastic.
The Aquatheater show was
not until 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.
on our last evening and there
were technical difficulties
with the start. We watched
the show on the in-room tele-
vision; wish we stayed, it
looked fabulous.
The classic Viking Crown
Lounge is a signature of every
Royal Caribbean ship and this
was no different, however it is
not 360-degrees around, it
sits high above the ship in
front of the Crown Loft Suites.
It is a quiet lounge and con-
nects on one side to the Pin-
nacle Chapel and on the
other to the Pinnacle Lounge,
which can be used for private
functions.
Do not let anyone tell you
that this ship is too big,
because when you have
something to fit everyone's
style without the feel of a
large ship, is it really too big?
Running out of room again.
Tune in next week for my final
article on this incredible ship.
